Cauda Equina Syndrome following lumbar spine procedures

by Mr Alexander Montgomery, Consultant Spinal Surgeon

Cauda equina syndrome (CES) is a compressive neuropathy of the nerve roots that leave the lower end of the spinal cord, which is a relatively rare complication following lumbar disc surgery (possibly due to underreporting).

A medicolegal perspective on cervical spine injuries 

The cervical spine, consisting of the bones in the neck, plays a crucial role in supporting the head and protecting the spinal cord. Despite being relatively rare, cervical spine injuries are significant due to their potential severity and the need for prompt diagnosis to avoid devastating consequences.
